What If?

What if the Church loved God as much as we said we do?
What if the Church desired to be in the presence of the Holy Spirit as much as we demand Him to be in ours?
What if the Church met with Jesus as many times as our committees meet each week?
What if the Church quit preaching The Great Commission and actually lived it?
What if the Church took care of the orphans and widows with their service, not just their money?
What if the Church cared about numbers, instead of condemning and judging the churches that do?
What if the Church preached the Gospel every week and people did not always walk away with the warm fuzzy feelings inside?
What if the Church cared about the community surrounding them?
What if the Church prayed in faith and expectancy?
What if the Church cared more about lost people meeting Jesus than we do our Sunday potluck lunch fellowships?
What if the Church gave more to our community than we give to ourselves?
What if the Church understood hell is real and that people will go there without Jesus?
What if the Church unified and reached out to the world?
What if the Church cared as much about fixing our own sin as we do about fixing "their" sin?
What if the Church was the Church that God created and has a specific purpose for?
